I know for a fact that the Stealth 3D 2000 and 3D 2000 Pro (my card) only have VESA 1.2 compatibility. You have to get a driver for VESA 2.0 in DOS, and I don't think changing operating systems will help. The VESA driver for SVGALib doesn't work, probably for the same reason.
Being in a Feature Freeze (TM), I don't see support for any such older cards coming anytime soon. :(
